Mihai Eminescu Poems
- 1. Sonnet V
The years have passed like clouds across the dale;
The years have gone and will return no more,
For they no longer move me, as the lore
Of legend, and of song, and doina's tale
... - 2. Of All The Ships
Of all the ships the ocean rolls
How many find untimely graves
Piled high by you upon the shoals,
O waves and winds, o winds and waves?
... - 3. The Vesper
Once on a time, as poets sing
High tales with fancy laden,
Born of a very noble king
There lived a wondrous maiden.
... - 4. The Brazen Bells Of Midnight..
The brazen bells of midnight upon the darkness toll,
But sleep, life's custom agent, won't take from me his dole;
Down paths so many follow, death would my spirit lead,
And death, when all considered, resembles life indeed;
... - 5. To The Star
So far it is athwart the blue
To where yon star appears,
That for its light to reach our view
Has needed thousand years.
... - 6. Sonnet Vi
Mighty Venice now has fallen low,
One hears no songs, no sound of festive balls;
On steps of marble and through gateways falls
The pallid moon's unearthly silver glow.
...
